Put a top tier Indy driver in the best car in F1 and you'll have a winner. Both series have some great talent.

Re: Indycar - COTA (Anyone else giving it a watch?)

Indeed but when F1 is judged to be boring because of the lack of overtaking that's mainly a product of the cars being so much faster than Indycars, Indycars being 14 seconds slower than F1 cars is probably mainly because of the crude aero which conversely allows the car to follow more closer and al...

Yep, we can agree to disagree. Why does it have a social obligation to politics? And why only F1? Do you see that in any other shows that gain TV exposure?

I would like to see F1 adopt a policy endorsing peace and tolerance in general, including perhaps a symbol on the cars etc. Frankly I'd like to see it as a world wide movement. To me that makes more sense than one off responses to tragedies or disasters. The tough part of this sort of thing, is once...
